| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | Very good fireball, companion commented it was in his top 3 ever. We were observing and I was looking elsewhere, he said holy crap look at that and I had time to look up, see it, and follow it about half of it's travel. Estimated duration 5-7 seconds. I queried him about it's origin and determined it to be approximately 10 degrees SW of Polaris from our position, and I saw the termination somewhere in southern Aquila. No termination flash. |
